Oh, Tom Junod, women didn't need to read your article to learn that men - even ones who seemingly bring little to a relationship other than a nasty sense of entitlement - expect to date women who are 10 or 15 years younger and consider themselves rather saintly for passing on the opportunity to creep out teenage girls. We have OkCupid for that, and it comes with some nifty quizzes too. Your article could do with some nifty quizzes.

  And men 10 or 15 (or as I recently experienced, even 20+) years younger, at that.

Of course, they have to work for their advantage; they have armored themselves with yoga and Pilates even as they joke about the spectacle. Still, what has made them figures of fantasy is not that they have redefined the ideals of female strength but rather their own vulnerabilities. Go to a party: There is simply no one as unclothed as a forty-two-year-old woman in a summer dress. For all her toughness, and humor, and smarts, you know exactly what she looks like, without the advantage of knowing who she is.

Most 42 year-old men aren't exactly prizes themselves unless they put in a lot of work too, so I'd like to think this superficiality should go both ways.

I wanted to laugh at the notion that 42-year-old women might want to fuck Tom Junod, but he's actually kind of hot.

That personality, tho.

  His eyes are uneven. Once it is seen it cannot be unseen. Not quite as off as Josh Altman from Bravo TV, but still kind of off!

  Thou shall count to 42, no more, no less. 42 shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be 42. 43 shalt thou not count, neither count thou 41, excepting that thou then proceed to 42. 44 is right out.

Esquire magazine (Motto: "The Inactive Ingredients of Erection Pills, in Magazine Form")

I thought their motto was something closer to "Some of the best damn magazine writing for the last 80 years." but that was a cute line. ;)

You are literally not worthy of licking Tom Junod's balls in that regard.

I honestly couldn't finish this piece as I had to force back the vomit.

Best line that I got to before I had to stop reading?:

"Tom Junod can name several famous women who are 42 who he would be willing to fuck. Right in their 42-year-old vaginas."

  SERIOUSLY. I've had a few guys say that to me as if it was some sort of compliment. All I could say back was 'well, I'm offended that you think I'd stoop to that level'. I'm not all that witty.

First impression: What is this piece of cunty bullshit? I don't know the Esquire writer in question and I haven't read the piece in full but these seem like general observations that speak more to the pathetic mindset of your (below) average male than that of the author. I think the motto for Gawker should be: We don't understand what we read. Let us tell you about it.

Ben Franklin already said this, but better:

I repeat my former Advice: that in all your Amours you should prefer old Women to young ones. You call this a Paradox, and demand my Reasons. They are these:
1. Because as they have more Knowledge of the World and their Minds are better stor'd with Observations, their Conversation is more improving and more lastingly agreeable.
2. Because when Women cease to be handsome, they study to be good. To maintain their Influence over Men, they supply the Diminution of Beauty by an Augmentation of Utility. They learn to do a 1,000 Services small and great, and are the most tender and useful of all Friends when you are sick. Thus they continue amiable. And hence there is hardly such a thing to be found as an old Woman who is not a good Woman.
3. Because there is no hazard of Children, which irregularly produc'd may be attended with much Inconvenience.
4. Because thro' more Experience, they are more prudent and discreet in conducting an Intrigue to prevent Suspicion. The Commerce with them is therefore safer with regard to your Reputation. And with regard to theirs, if the Affair should happen to be known, considerate People might be rather inclin'd to excuse an old Woman who would kindly take care of a young Man, form his Manners by her good Counsels, and prevent his ruining his Health and Fortune among mercenary Prostitutes.
5. Because in every Animal that walks upright, the Deficiency of the Fluids that fill the Muscles appears first in the highest Part. The Face first grows lank and wrinkled; then the Neck; then the Breast and Arms; the lower Parts continuing to the last as plump as ever, so that covering all above with a Basket, and regarding only what is below the Girdle, it is impossible of two Women to know an old from a young one. And as in the dark all Cats are grey, the Pleasure of corporal Enjoyment with an old Woman is at least equal, and frequently superior, every Knack being by Practice capable of Improvement.
6. Because the Sin is less. The debauching a Virgin may be her Ruin, and make her for Life unhappy.
7. Because the Compunction is less. The having made a young Girl miserable may give you frequent bitter Reflections, none of which can attend the making an old Woman happy.
8thly and Lastly. They are so grateful!!

  Let me break this down for some people who have trouble with words:
  
  Older women are great lovers.
  
  1. They are actually interesting to talk to afterwards.
  
  2. They don't tend to be self-absorbed and conniving
  
  3. Don't have to worry about babies, raw dog it all the time.
  
  4. They are discrete and know some awesome moves in the sack.
  
  5. They still got great hips and legs, just keep the lights low.
  
  6. God's going to let this slide.
  
  7. There will be tons less drama.
  
  8. Everyone likes to get it on, including older women.
